Frank Sargeson House, Literary heritage site in Takapuna, New Zealand.
The house features a simple 20-by-20 feet design with corrugated asbestos fibrolite roofing and heart rimu timber flooring at 14 Esmonde Road.
Frank Sargeson established permanent residence at this location in May 1931, with the current structure being constructed in 1948 following designs by George Haydn.
